ithe North Canton high school their
- three-act operetta, "The Gypsy
Rover," is going to go over the footlights with a bang in the Community

costumes are elaborate and the stage
settings thoroughly in keeping with
"the title of the operetta,.

.they appreciate the long hours of
study they have given to the parts.
A well filled house encourages those
"on the stage to do their utmost to
please, and as they are our own
-daughters or those of our neighbors
they deserve to be supported, especially as they are going to give us
more value than the price named on
the ticket of admittance. The cast is

The County High School Basketball
Tournament held in North Canton on
Friday and Saturday, February 26 and
27, brought together ten teams from
as many different schools throughout
the county. All of the gamesmade
a good showing for the teams entered.
As is usual some surprises were
sprung.
North Canton, Canal Fulton and
Marlboro were defeated in the first
round. North Canton made the Union-
town boys work hard for their victory. This game had the closest
score of all the games played. North
Industry showed superior team work
and shooting ability to that of Canal
Fulton. Marlboro was outclassed by
Minerva, but led in the scoring for
the first few minutes of play.
On Friday evening Greentown was
able to defeat Beach City. Both teams,
however, showed good work. Louisville
was able to win from Waynesburg
by far superior .team work. Union-
town was too much for North Industry in the second round played by
these two teams.
Greentown Fought Hard
Saturday afternoon in the semifinals Minerva defeated Greentown.
Greentown showed up well, but were
defeated, leaving Minerva the winners in the upper bracket. Uniontown
defeated Louisville after a hard fought
game. Louisville was not able to use
the team work they did on Friday
evening. The physical makeup of the
Uniontown team was too much for
them. This left Uniontown the winner in the lower bracket.
Game a Real Battle
Following the preliminary by the
Canal Fulton and North Canton girls
Uniontown and Minerva clashed in the
finals. Both teams put up a scrappy
game, but the well-seasoned Minerva
team was too much for Uniontown.
Uniontown was not able to place her
long shots while Minerva was able
to make good use of her short passes
and good shooting.
Uniontown and Minerva will rep
resent Stark county in the district
meet to be held in the new Rayen
H. S. building in Youngstown on
March 12 and 13.
Successful Tournament
The tournament was one of the
most successful held by the schools

LETTERS CAME LATE
Mail Pouch Stolen In 1923 Recovered
On Friday, Feb. 26.
When Campbell wrote his famous
poem, "The Pleasures of Hope," he
was not thinking of Uncle Sam's mail
pouches, but his words have helped
many persons to keep on hoping in
the hope that their hoping would
come true. And it does—occasionally.
Right here in North Canton several
men and women The Sun has been
told, received letters on Friday, February 26, that bad been mailed to
them in January 28, 1923. Now you
Republicans, don't get sarcastic and
ask if Albert Sidney Burleson of
Texas is back on the job as postmaster general of the U. S. A. And you
Democrats, keep quiet, too. The P. G.
is entirely innocent of holding up the
mail, in fact he is smiling to think
that Postmaster Todd Cool and his
able assistants in Canton got the
pouch and distributed the mail. Harry
Wise received his letter and so did
others.
To go back to 1923, the pouch was
thrown off a Pennsy train three blocks
4'iom the regular place in Canton.
Some one not averse to taking what
didn't belong to him grabbed the bag
and disappeared in the mist. For
months sleuths from the postofflce department trailed false clues and then
quit.
The other day—February 15 to be
specific—workmen were in a deserted
house in Canton and under looso
boards they found the pouch. They
notified Postmaster Cool, and in a fevl
hours the bag was in the postofflce.
Many dollars were returned to their
owners, for strange to say the thiet
was very ignorant and after opening
a few envelopes containing circulars
he concluded there was nothing worth
stealing.
But think of the heart-aches in the
delay! Had one the time and ability
to put on paper the misery the robbery caused it would make a corking
story, for waiting for "the letter that
never came" has caused more than
one man and woman untold agony—
mental torture the average person

flowers, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Spraying
fruit trees while in full bloom with
arsenicals is particularly injurious to
bees, according to tests which have
been completed recently by the Bureau of Entomology.
Of course the beekeeper does not
want his bees poisoned, says the department, because as a result his
honey crop is reduced. The subject
should be of even more interest, however, to fruit growers because with
the loss of the honeybees they lose
the most effective means of pollination in their orchards.
The 'effect of arsenical sprays on
the mortality of honeybees has long
been debated, but only a few systematical investigations have been made
to aid in settling the dispute. In the
hope of answering definitely some of
the questions so long debated, these
tests were conducted.
Spraying apple trees during full
bloom is not recommended because the
codling moth can be as well controlled
by spraying when 90 per cent of the
petals have fallen, and because spraying when the trees are in full bloom
is injurious to insect pollinators.

At the meeting of Council on Monday night Attorney A. B. Arbaugh,
whose duty it is to keep close tabs
on the finances of the village, made
a few statements that sounded good
to all within hailing distance of hi-i
voice, and The Sun is going to pass
it along to every one in North Canton and in the territory adjacent.
North Canton, said Attorney Arbaugh, is in excellent financial health.
The fact that the town will retire $10,-
000 worth of bonds on June 20, this
year, means that Council won't have
to pass tho hat to raise money.
The reappraisement of property
means an increase in the strong box,
end if the Council so desired it could
issue bonds to the amount of $26,000.
It is pleasant to know that there
is money in reserve, and that the town
lias over seven million dollars taxable
property.

What He Should Be
Francis Meynell wittily described
Michael Arlen as "every other inch a
gentleman," which.-come to think of
it, is a pretty good description of the
average man.
sion whereby humanity exists, seems
to have eluded everybody. Where is
it born? By what qualities is it created ? Is it intended to be monogamous and lifelong, or polygamous
and temporary? Above all, how does
it come to pass that a man should
choose one woman out of all the world
of women to be his wife and mother
of his children, and thereby, it may
be, the mother of untold generations'!
Is it under the unconscious operation
of divine selection as Browning seemed to think, or by the mere freak of
chance, the accident of class, race and
environment, the unnoticed necessity
which unites the creatures of the field-
when they are driven pell-mell into
the same pen.
Love, the love of man for woman
and of woman for man, is a mystery
of natural law. Marriage, truly contracted and properly protected, is an
institution based on a pure and lofty
law of nature which God made at the
beginning, when He created male and
female, and which has since established the home, founded the family,
built up the nation, been the chief
agent in the progress of civilization,
and become perhaps, the strongest
bulwark of religion.—From The Delineator.

X C. HI GIRLS IN CAST
Judging from the enthusiasm of the
members of the Girls' Glee club of
ithe North Canton high school their
- three-act operetta, "The Gypsy
Rover," is going to go over the footlights with a bang in the Community

and that the public will, be well
pleased with all they see and hear;

costumes are elaborate and the stage
settings thoroughly in keeping with
"the title of the operetta,.

The operetta is under the personal
direction of Mrs. Rea. The High
School Boys' Glee club, under the direction of Mr. Bixler, will take part
in the singing, and the High School

Girls Deserve Support
This newspaper takes this opportunity of urging upon the people the
wisdom of attending "The Gypsy

.they appreciate the long hours of
study they have given to the parts.
A well filled house encourages those
"on the stage to do their utmost to
please, and as they are our own
-daughters or those of our neighbors
they deserve to be supported, especially as they are going to give us
more value than the price named on
the ticket of admittance. The cast is

The County High School Basketball
Tournament held in North Canton on
Friday and Saturday, February 26 and
27, brought together ten teams from
as many different schools throughout
the county. All of the gamesmade
a good showing for the teams entered.
As is usual some surprises were
sprung.
North Canton, Canal Fulton and
Marlboro were defeated in the first
round. North Canton made the Union-
town boys work hard for their victory. This game had the closest
score of all the games played. North
Industry showed superior team work
and shooting ability to that of Canal
Fulton. Marlboro was outclassed by
Minerva, but led in the scoring for
the first few minutes of play.
On Friday evening Greentown was
able to defeat Beach City. Both teams,
however, showed good work. Louisville
was able to win from Waynesburg
by far superior .team work. Union-
town was too much for North Industry in the second round played by
these two teams.
Greentown Fought Hard
Saturday afternoon in the semifinals Minerva defeated Greentown.
Greentown showed up well, but were
defeated, leaving Minerva the winners in the upper bracket. Uniontown
defeated Louisville after a hard fought
game. Louisville was not able to use
the team work they did on Friday
evening. The physical makeup of the
Uniontown team was too much for
them. This left Uniontown the winner in the lower bracket.
Game a Real Battle
Following the preliminary by the
Canal Fulton and North Canton girls
Uniontown and Minerva clashed in the
finals. Both teams put up a scrappy
game, but the well-seasoned Minerva
team was too much for Uniontown.
Uniontown was not able to place her
long shots while Minerva was able
to make good use of her short passes
and good shooting.
Uniontown and Minerva will rep
resent Stark county in the district
meet to be held in the new Rayen
H. S. building in Youngstown on
March 12 and 13.
Successful Tournament
The tournament was one of the
most successful held by the schools
of the County Association. North

LETTERS CAME LATE
Mail Pouch Stolen In 1923 Recovered
On Friday, Feb. 26.
When Campbell wrote his famous
poem, "The Pleasures of Hope," he
was not thinking of Uncle Sam's mail
pouches, but his words have helped
many persons to keep on hoping in
the hope that their hoping would
come true. And it does—occasionally.
Right here in North Canton several
men and women The Sun has been
told, received letters on Friday, February 26, that bad been mailed to
them in January 28, 1923. Now you
Republicans, don't get sarcastic and
ask if Albert Sidney Burleson of
Texas is back on the job as postmaster general of the U. S. A. And you
Democrats, keep quiet, too. The P. G.
is entirely innocent of holding up the
mail, in fact he is smiling to think
that Postmaster Todd Cool and his
able assistants in Canton got the
pouch and distributed the mail. Harry
Wise received his letter and so did
others.
To go back to 1923, the pouch was
thrown off a Pennsy train three blocks
4'iom the regular place in Canton.
Some one not averse to taking what
didn't belong to him grabbed the bag
and disappeared in the mist. For
months sleuths from the postofflce department trailed false clues and then
quit.
The other day—February 15 to be
specific—workmen were in a deserted
house in Canton and under looso
boards they found the pouch. They
notified Postmaster Cool, and in a fevl
hours the bag was in the postofflce.
Many dollars were returned to their
owners, for strange to say the thiet
was very ignorant and after opening
a few envelopes containing circulars
he concluded there was nothing worth
stealing.
But think of the heart-aches in the
delay! Had one the time and ability
to put on paper the misery the robbery caused it would make a corking
story, for waiting for "the letter that
never came" has caused more than
one man and woman untold agony—

flowers, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Spraying
fruit trees while in full bloom with
arsenicals is particularly injurious to
bees, according to tests which have
been completed recently by the Bureau of Entomology.
Of course the beekeeper does not
want his bees poisoned, says the department, because as a result his
honey crop is reduced. The subject
should be of even more interest, however, to fruit growers because with
the loss of the honeybees they lose
the most effective means of pollination in their orchards.
The 'effect of arsenical sprays on
the mortality of honeybees has long
been debated, but only a few systematical investigations have been made
to aid in settling the dispute. In the
hope of answering definitely some of
the questions so long debated, these
tests were conducted.
Spraying apple trees during full
bloom is not recommended because the
codling moth can be as well controlled
by spraying when 90 per cent of the
petals have fallen, and because spraying when the trees are in full bloom
is injurious to insect pollinators.

At the meeting of Council on Monday night Attorney A. B. Arbaugh,
whose duty it is to keep close tabs
on the finances of the village, made
a few statements that sounded good
to all within hailing distance of hi-i
voice, and The Sun is going to pass
it along to every one in North Canton and in the territory adjacent.
North Canton, said Attorney Arbaugh, is in excellent financial health.
The fact that the town will retire $10,-
000 worth of bonds on June 20, this
year, means that Council won't have
to pass tho hat to raise money.
The reappraisement of property
means an increase in the strong box,
end if the Council so desired it could
issue bonds to the amount of $26,000.
It is pleasant to know that there
is money in reserve, and that the town
lias over seven million dollars taxable
property.
